Lisa B”
“This was my Shaka's first time with a Sitter since we relocated to Delaware. I was nervous at first because he had not been with a Sitter in over a year since moving here. However, as soon as we had our Meet and Greet with Myra all of that changed. He was nervous at first, but then she took his leash and began talking to him, walking him, rubbing him and giving him toys; I knew that she was the one! He showed me that he trusted her and both of our nerves calmed down. Myra kept me updated with daily texts and photos and I was able to see how relaxed and calm my baby was. I truly appreciate the care and love that Myra gave to my Shaka and I will definitely use her services again. I highly recommend Myra for all of your dog care needs.”
“Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.”
“Brooklyn was wonderful to my two dogs. I was in town for business and traveling with my dogs. She took great care of them, played with them all day and made them feel comfortable stopping for the weekend in Delaware. I was traveling from GA to CT and this allowed me to relax would use her again when I return to town.”
“Dory’s first stay with Micki went very well and Dory had a great time. We’re very pleased with the care that Micki provided and have booked Dory’s next stay with Micki. As pet parents, we are very comfortable leaving Dory with Micki and know that she will be safe, loved, and well cared for.”
“Teresa is definitely one of a kind. She truly cared for my 7lb, 8 month old Yorkipoo like she was hers. My baby made friends and came home even more behaved than when I dropped her off and Teresa never raises her voice at your fur baby. My little princess was so happy with Teresa. Teresa sent videos and pictures, even if she is sitting for other pups while she has yours (which she will tell you up front if this is the case) she still spends one on one time with each pup multiple times a day. And get this, I called Teresa on the same day that I needed service because I was in a bit of a pickle and she accommodated me. She is super professional, her home is very clean and it doesn't smell of pets. Teresa is now our baby's permanent sitter. She is absolutely the best! This was my first time hiring Teresa and I am beyond impressed. She deserves a million stars.”
“Jermaine was awesome! Our dog, Reese, is getting older and I feel like a traditional kennel is a little too loud & stressful for her. Leaving her with Jermaine gave us the peace of mind we needed. He was communicative and positive. She came home happy & healthy. We are very grateful and will absolutely use his services again”
“My 2 girls were so happy with Sandee, i could not have asked for better care of my two spoilt pups! I am very grateful to Sandee for taking my girls for the afternoon, which freed us up to do the necessary things related to purchasing a home. I won't hesitate to go back to Sandee and trust her with my precious fur babies. Thank you Sandee!!!!”
“This was our first experience with Emily and she was beyond my expectations. I have an older dog who is set in his ways and he did so well with Emily. He got along with her dogs, which made me so happy. Thank you so much for taking excellent care of my little old guy Tiki. Hope to be back soon and have Emily care for Tiki again!!”
“Zackie is an EXCEPTIONAL pet sitter! She accepted my last-minute booking and seamlessly accommodated my unpredictable travel plans. Throughout Simba’s stay, she sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. It was clear he received top notch care and fit right in with her family. I HIGHLY recommend her. Your pet will be treated with genuine love and outstanding care.”
“Wonderful stay with Brenda and her family! She takes care of our Pup Finnegan and she loves her like her own!! Its a great relief to know your dog is having a vacation same time you are! Definitely would use her again and again!”

“Luis was so patient with all my cats, especially my big boy, diabetic, zor. He's very skittish and a difficult patient to give a shot to. He was patient and successful. He sent me pictures of my fur babies, I knew they were well cared for.”
“Gianna is awesome! She was very communicative during the entire process and took great care of my cat, Baba. She also provided a lot of details about how the visits went and included lots of pictures. We really appreciate the level of service Gianna provided and will definitely book with her again🥰”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 25 years. I grew up in a home full of pets and can’t remember a time without them. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even a lizard. As an adult, I’ve chosen to adopt rescue dogs and guinea pigs because helping animals has always been important to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time so I have the time to care of your pets and take care of all their needs. My availability is flexible most days. I can do whatever you prefer for your pets in your home. Whatever their routine is, how you like things to be done to keep them feeling safe and comfortable.

If the dog is energetic, I will definitely being playing with them in the yard. If they like to chill out, they can relax on the couch. I am currently working from home. I have plenty of time to care for your pup. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and miss having one in my home. The dog will be well taken care of, and I am sure, will be a little spoiled while with me. They will get plenty of exercise and belly rubs - well balanced :) :) I currently work from home, so I will be with your dog all day! I will be able to talk your pup out for multiple walks throughout the day. I live in a community where I can take your dog on long walks in a quiet neighborhood. My house has plenty of room for your pup to roam around and make himself comfortable.
“Kaitlyn was awesome with her drop-ins for my two cats. Our older one gets stressed and can have accidents outside of the litter box and she was awesome and patient with him. Definitely will use her again for any future trips.”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my teen to adult years. I volunteered at a rescue taking care of mostly the cats. I’ve previously helped rescue kittens and dogs. I’ve always had animals around me. I’m a very big animal lover. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs and cat sit a kitten from time to time. I give the cats baths maybe once a month and the dogs weekly and I routinely walk the dogs. I watch the dogs while they’re outside while also giving them extra love. I love taking dogs on walks. I play with cats and even bring along toys that I know my cats love.
“We have used Chrissy numerous times and each time we are so so so pleased! She takes such good care of our cat when we are out of town. She is so sweet and we would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone! You won’t regret it!”
“As always, Nicole did a fabulous job. This time we were international and because Nicole was so trustworthy, professional, and outstanding in shorter visits in the past, we felt totally comfortable asking her to care for our senior cats for two weeks—they’re a handful as two need prescription diets and one was on medication. Nicole took excellent care of them. I’d trust her any time.”

“I am so happy we found Jer when we did. I needed a place where I felt safe leaving my good boy during the day and this is it! Jer is kind and patient, great with communication and sends plenty of pics of Grizzly happily playing with his new friends. I can go to work and know that he is in good hands. What a relief!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with Myra’s kindness, patience and attentiveness while hosting my Fido. her photo updates and DM’s throughout the day were very considerate and most welcome. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for caring and competent care of their furry buddy”
“Elizabeth was a life savor! I had last minute reached out to see if she could watch my puppy and she was able to accommodate to do so. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my girl with her! She’s super friendly and you could tell she has a genuine love for animals. She was sending me pictures throughout the day and I could tell Nova was having a great time. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone! Thank you so much for taking great care of my crazy pup Elizabeth!”

About: I grew up on retired farm land, so I gained lots of experience raising and training several dog breeds, all sizes and ages. We rescued and fostered several dogs, cats, and rabbits over the years. As an adult I started fostering dogs and rabbits myself. Until recently, I was fostering primarily dogs. I have 2 shepheards and 2 pitbulls permanently placed in my home, as well as a dwarf rabbit. 2 of my dogs are trained and registered as service animals. I have a very adaptable home with lots of indoor/outdoor play space, as well as space to be separated as needed. I are very particular about keeping our food and water bowls clean with washing every day. I am happy to love you fur babies! There is rarely ever a time my pets are home alone. They all free roam and coexist peacfully, so I have a very calm house usually. We have a go out/walking schedule we follow to ensure proper exercise, as well as a secure feeding routine. My fiancé works full time, so I am the full time caretaker of the animals. Stranger pets in my home are introduced calmly and carefully, as to maintain a safe environment for all. Higher energy dogs meet my shepheards first, calmer animals meet my old boy first. My animals stay leashed infront of guests until a calmness has been reached. I have separate feeding bowls for all animals, water is communal as to resist territorial behavior. If calmness can not be reached, I have space to separate any unrully animals as needed. As a stranger in another animals home, I aproach very calmly and happily to respect their space. I am very adaptable to understanding and applying a feeding/walking schedule. Play time is always important, and my favorite part of the day! Lots of play time and pets are given to fur babies.

In my own home, your pet will be treated as family. In your home, I will take the time for your pet to be happy and loved.

About: I have cared for cats for most of my life but 5 years ago my fiancé and I adopted my first dog. For the past 5 years, I’ve cared for my dog, Mary Jane, who has been my sweetest teacher in understanding dog behavior, routines, and communication. Through caring for her, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walking, feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and creating a calm, consistent environment for a happy pup. I have also cared for many friends pets while they were away on vacation. I may be new to Rover, but I’m not new to being a responsible, attentive animal owner. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.

I have a 6 foot privacy fence and the front room is set up for your pup to stay in and there is a XXL crate and for smaller pups I have a large play pen and a canopy bed.

About: A little experience background: * I was raised learning to care for pets in a family of trainers and boarders. We also spent a lot of time working with local shelters. * Professionally, I started working in boarding and assisting with training and behavioral rehabilitation 20 years ago * In 2012, I started my career in dog grooming * I am certified to groom dogs and cats * In 2020, I became certified to train new groomers for their certifications. My specialties: * I specialize in fear-free, comfort experiences. * I do trauma rehabilitation grooming for pets who can't go to standard salons due to behavior/aggression issues. For this, I focus on building trust and over time, getting your fur babies comfortable enough with the process so that they learn to enjoy being groomed. The goal is to one day get them to the point where they can once again be welcomed back to a normal salon. * Many of the grooms I perform are also for pets that are unable to be serviced in standard salons due to health issues. * Senior pet care * Puppy care * Basic training * Administering medications and monitoring for symptoms and side effects. What to expect during their stay: * Daily walks 2-4 times a day (depending on if you have them in a schedule, I try to maintain that for you) * Plenty of one on one time and attention! * Trips to the dog park (with your permission and depending on your pet for obvious safety reasons) * Story time! (It may sound silly, but I have found that offensive times, relaxing and reading a bedtime story out loud, often helps to calm a pets anxiety levels. I have even had success in this with pets that have high anxiety and destructive/aggressive behavior for storms and loud noises when they were out of their medication) * A calming, loving, family experience for your fur baby. Always. * Picture, video, and message updates about your pet! * Play time and exercise! * Trust that I will follow strict instructions and schedules if given. Routine is important. * Trust that your pup is being cared for someone experienced in emergency and medical situations. I will act quickly and always do what is best for your pet! In anything I do, I ensure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat all pets like they are family and build genuine bonds. Communication is key, so it is important that you not only communicate as much information about your dog to me so I can give the best experience, but also that you receive full reports on behavior, any changes I may have noticed in your pup, subtle signs of potential health concerns, etc. I will also work with your dog on basic training if needed during their stays, and educated you as needed on grooming maintenance, your pets body language and behavior shifts to elevate your bond at home as well. I do offer grooming services for any pets in my care. However, pricing and service completion will depend on the size of your dog, condition your pet is in, and their stress levels. I will never force a pet through a service. I am generally home all day. I do work as a groomer for pets that are unable to got to salons, but I do this from home as well. So your pets will have round the clock love and care. You will need to provide any food and specific treats if your pet has a favorite or dietary restrictions/allergies. Pets are family. I will personally take them for walks throughout the day for fresh air and exercise, play with them and ensure they feel comfortable and lived while you are away. I do offer creating services, however, depending on the size of your dog, you may have to supply the crate. You pet will always be treated like family, but the details of their routine and activities will depend on your instructions. I respect that different lifestyles require different things (i.e crating vs free roam, scheduled feeding vs grazing, scheduled walks/potty breaks vs whenever they want to go out, etc.) and will maintain that sense of normalcy as much as possible. If you opt for grooming, and I am able to comfortably groom your dog, grooming will take place 1-2 days before your return. That way they have time to decompress after, and if they are stressed for parts, it gives leeway to do little bits over time.

“Liz took great care of Cooper while I was away for a short trip. She did several drop in visits each day, kept me updated, and made the whole experience very easy.

He got along with her dogs, which made me so happy. Thank you so much for taking excellent care of my little old guy Tiki. Hope to be back soon and have Emily care for Tiki again!!”
“Zackie is an EXCEPTIONAL pet sitter! She accepted my last-minute booking and seamlessly accommodated my unpredictable travel plans. Throughout Simba’s stay, she sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. It was clear he received top notch care and fit right in with her family. I HIGHLY recommend her. Your pet will be treated with genuine love and outstanding care.”
“Wonderful stay with Brenda and her family! She takes care of our Pup Finnegan and she loves her like her own!! Its a great relief to know your dog is having a vacation same time you are! Definitely would use her again and again!”
About: I have had dogs since I was a baby. I have cared for dogs of every stage of life, and I’m super passionate about senior dogs and small animals. Both my dogs are friendly with ferrets and other small animals, always supervised of course. I have experience in dogs, cats, ferrets, and all rodents. No experience with reptiles but I have read a lot about the husbandry of geckos and bearded dragons. Always willing to learn to have your pet be most comfortable in our home. I currently am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of extra time for animals. We (my boyfriend and I) already dedicate a huge portion of our time to our dogs so we would love to add more to the mix lol. My daughter (5yo) also loves animals and is learning the ropes of helping take care of them. We have a very big yard, and while it’s not fenced in there is still plenty of space to run on a lead! I can also help with potty training, pad training and lead training as well as socializing with our two very friendly goofy dogs.

“Jeren did an amazing job with my dog! She was even flexible with my pick up time when my flight got delayed. Would definitely recommend if your dog likes other dogs and is very shy like mine”
“Zelie was great! She responded quickly to messages and was kind and flexible especially when we asked to add an additional night to our dogs stay at the last minute. She also sent good updates, pictures and even a couple short videos! I definitely hope to book her again!!”

“Libby was great with Chloe! We got pictures and updates regularly and Chloe even and a hat and scarf in some pictures! Huge fenced in yard to run around in! Lots of love and attention! Definitely will use Libby again!”
“Mike spent a month with our dog, Nika, and provided the care for her as she was his own dog! He was able to accommodate us on a relatively short notice and stayed in touch the entire time we were away. Mike often sent us pictures of Nika and let us know how she was doing. The first time ever when we picked her up she was unsure whether or not she wants to stay or go! I recommend him to everyone who is looking for a loving and caring environment. We will definitely be coming back!”
